Three Score and Ten in Retrospect
had worked with Allen H. Tibbals prior to this time, Bryant Croft was John's cousin and Earl Staten was a friend of some years. By now John was general counsel for the Ute Indian Tribe of the U i t a h and Ouray Reservation, the Hopi Indian Tribe of Arizona, the Kaibab Paiute Indian Tribe of Arizona, and the Northwestern Bands of Shoshone or Utah and Idaho, and also claims counsel for the Hopi, for the Goshute Shoshone, and the Southern Paiute Tribes of Utah and Arizona. John had been "duly admitted and qualified as an attorney and counselor" of the United States Courts of Claims, on motion first made by Ernest L. Wilkinson, in 1949." Boyden and Wilkinson later announced "the formation of a partnership for the general practice of law under the firm name of Boyden and Wilkinson at 351 South State Street." Tibbals, Staten and Croft were listed as Associate Counsel in Salt Lake City, and Wilkinson, Boyden and Cragun in Washington, D.C. Boyden, Tibbals, Staten and Croft later moved to the El Paso Natural Gas Building, 315 East Second South. It was obvious that John took seriously his responsibility as a member of the legal profession. He was a faithful member of the Utah Bar Association, the first Utah attorney to be inducted as a Fellow of the International Academy of Trial Lawyers, President of the Federal Bar Association of Utah (1968), and a Fellow of the American Bar Foundation. He was awarded the Honorary Order of the Coif by the University of Utah College of Law. He was a member of the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Third Judicial District, and was a member of the Council on Criminal Justice Administration. Through his integrity and expertise in the practice of law, John won the respect of the judges and his fellow attorneys. He was considered a "pillar" of the Utah State Bar.
